Hi bearloch....I live near San Francisco and was at this restaurant up on Fisherman's wharf the other day (The Boudin bakery). They had a framed set of cards of SF that were wonderfully presented (just outside the restroom), but they were all of the same orientation...namely "horizontal" not "vertical. But, they had them archivally mounted and standing off the surface inside the frame a bit...in total the frames were large, a grid of about 10 by 10 cards. but the finished product was lovely (and I suspect pricey to do)...but you get what you pay for!

One more thing...the framed SF postcards that I was telling you about also had the reverse side showing for some of the cards. If you have a lot of cards in your collection and it include used cards, you might consider including an interesting card where someone has described their trip to the park. I have a number of these and they can be a bunch of fun to read and make good conversation pieces. Good Luck!
